Website options?

Are you certain Zeta Tau Alpha doesn't have an out of the box product ready for you to customize? I know Alpha Xi Delta uses a great program (which I'm blanking on right now) and it provides a professional and thematically consistent product across all (or most anyway) of our collegiate chapters. And my alma mater provides domain access.

And I would say that although Facebook and Twitter are important, I would still have a good, thorough and CURRENT website available for lurkers, incoming college students and their mothers.

I'd suggest you search around for a local web developer who'd be able to put together a nice, simple website built on top of some content management system (e.g. WordPress or SilverStripe). Once it's built, it's just a matter of passing down passwords, paying a monthly bill (hosting), and paying a yearly bill (domain). It'll get you a much more custom / flexible / elegant solution than the one-size fits all approach that most solutions companies provide.

Plan to spend about ~$500 for a good designer, $10/mo for hosting, and $10/yr for the domain name.
